Zeng Zu felt that this flower thief was very unusual, no one had seen his real body on the one hand, but all the victims were **** in their sleep, and they had not woken up, which was very strange. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Of course, the use of incense is the usual way of flower thieves, but there is no trace of incense burning at the scene, and the victim has no signs of being dazzled by the medicine.

Zengzu also noticed that the flower thieves were concentrated in the area of Xicheng and Xuanwu, and it seemed to be centered on the Haiyan Well in Zhongyi Lane.

Last year, the well in Zhongyi Lane dried up, something that hadn't happened in hundreds of years. Some curious people went down to take a look, and found a crystal coffin in the depths of the tunnel at the bottom of the well, opened it and looked at it, but there was nothing inside, and the crystal coffin was bought by the rich merchants in Nancheng. Now it seems that this crystal coffin may be related to this flower-picking case.

In the mouths of the people who fell to the ground, there is a saying that the crystal coffin turns into water. The crystal coffin in a specific temperature and humidity environment, will have a specific effect on the corpse inside, thousands of years later, the coffin clothes are all there, but the bones of the coffin turned into a half coffin of clear water. But the great ancestor knew that in more special circumstances, for example, the crystal coffin sank into the sea eye well, or buried near the Xuanmen, it would form a kind of "hidden corpse", that is, a completely transparent corpse, if the deceased was very resentful, the same would raise the corpse, but no one could see it, but the conditions for the formation were too harsh and extremely rare.

Judging from that case, the Haiyan Well, the crystal coffin, and a series of strange cases are intrinsically related, and the possibility of hiding the corpse is very high, perhaps it is also related to the mutation of the Xuanmen two years ago. The great-grandfather put down what he was doing and began to investigate. After reading the records of all the cases at the National Police Department, going to the victim's house to investigate again, and marking the location of the crime on the map, the great-grandfather basically determined the law of the hidden corpse's action, and the method of making it appear was also confident.

Around mid-August, Chang Zu prepared a few catties of medicinal herbs and made some lime in the pharmacy. After grinding the medicinal herbs, mix in some lime, and then sift them several times with a fine sieve, wrap the extremely fine powder in tissue paper, and make a total of more than 100 palm-sized paper bags.

The next day, Zengzu found Wu Bingxiang, and the Police Department specially arranged 40 experienced, bold and careful policemen to follow Zengzu and find a vacant courtyard in the West Fourth Area. A square shallow pit was dug on the ground at the entrance of the main house, and the shallow pit faced the direction of the courtyard gate. The ground was spaced three feet apart, and six iron rings were struck, and the iron rings were tied tightly with a strand of silk, making a solid tripping rope. Then let the police find a woman in the Qinglou, and the great-grandfather handed her the soul bell, let her sit in the main house, and started from the time she was a child, and kept slowly ringing the bell for an hour every day.

The great-grandfather also pasted two cinnabar paper as the base at the gate of the courtyard, and the charm painted in gold lacquer, in order to keep out those irrelevant lonely souls and wild ghosts. When everything was ready, the great-grandfather divided the police into three teams, and handed over the powdered paper packets to the policemen, three for each person, and each of them carried two torches wrapped in linen cloth and soaked in tung oil.

The great-grandfather led a team to climb the roof of the main house and the wings, and the other two teams hid in the left and right wings, once there was movement, the great-grandfather threw the bag as the number, first the team on the roof, and then the two teams on both sides of the wings came out, and threw the paper bag into the one-foot-deep pit.

There was no special movement for the first two days of the squatting, and by the third night, the policemen were a little out of energy and began to doze off. And the woman in the Qinglou is estimated to be physically exhausted, the speed of the rattle is much slower, the bell is light and heavy, and the ringing is sometimes stopped. Halfway through the time, the great ancestor suddenly smelled a faint fishy smell, coming from far and near, a spirit, immediately sobered up. Great-grandfather hurriedly poked the dozing policemen around him, pointing to the courtyard, and everyone stared at the iron rings and shallow pits on the ground. The smell was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a grim breeze blowing in the courtyard. But there was no movement in the courtyard except for the occasional sound of leaves falling.

Suddenly, the impact of the soul bell in the main room sounded rapidly, this fast rhythm is no longer a frequency that people can shake, and everyone on the roof looked at each other, I don't know why, but a chill rushed from the back to the top of the head. The Great Ancestor estimated that the Soul Suppression Bell sensed the approach of the hidden corpse and began to vibrate violently, but before the Great Ancestor could think about it, there was a muffled bang on the shallow pit in the courtyard, and then the iron rings on the ground had been pulled up one after another.

Great-grandfather slammed the paper bag in his hand into the pit. The first paper bag smashed on the edge of the pit, but the ash inside splattered more than four feet high, and when the ash powder scattered, it did not fall vertically, but converged towards the center of the pit. Under the cover of the gray powder in the pit, it has been faintly revealed that there is a half-human figure inside.

Great-grandfather shouted "Throw, throw the paper bag quickly", the second paper bag has been thrown down, the police on the roof woke up like a dream, the paper bag burst in the pit and the edge of the pit, the ash powder spread like a fog, and the human figure in the pit became clearer and clearer, and the ash dust absorbed around the body became thicker and thicker. The figure looked taller and more burly than normal, and seemed to be muscular, and was standing up from the pit with his hands on the ground.

The policemen in the wings on both sides heard the shouts of the great-grandfather, and rushed out one after another, the first one to come out ran faster, stepped out in two steps, looked up again, and the gray-stained human figure was only two or three meters away, staring at each other face to face, the policeman was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and the paper bag in his hand also exploded around him. Fortunately, the policemen who came out of the house in the back were not too bold, and they took a step back in fright, but they still tried to throw the paper bag in their hands. The paper wrap stirs up white circles around the humanoid. By this time, the humanoid had fully stood up and stepped out of the pit, but its movements were a little sluggish.

The great-ancestor on the roof slowly relaxed at this time, confirming that this was the hidden corpse that had been cultivated in the crystal coffin for thousands of years, and although the ash powder in the paper package could not put the hidden corpse to death, it did have the function of restraint, at least the movement of the hidden corpse was very inconvenient. The great-grandfather picked up the pre-prepared torch and lit it in his hand. The policemen on the roof had finished throwing away the paper bags, picked up their rifles, and aimed them at the humanoid. At the same time as the great-grandfather threw the torch, the gun rang out. Although the fear in their hearts made the hands of the police tremble a little, at such a close distance, the bullet still drove into the body of the hidden corpse. But the bullet was like shooting into the water, leaving a circle of ripples on the surface of the hidden corpse's body, but it could not be penetrated, and the bullet fell to the ground with a clang. The hidden corpse was just a stumbling corpse, and there was no damage. The policemen who rushed out of the wing room were so shocked that they didn't bother to shoot their guns and ran into the house.

At this moment, the great-grandfather's torch was thrown out. The flames swirled like a flaming fireball and smashed into it. Although it did not hit the hidden corpse, the flames still ignited the ash powder that had accumulated in the pit for half an inch, and a flame suddenly rose in the pit, illuminating the small courtyard as bright as day. The hidden corpse sensed the temperature behind him and strode towards the outside of the courtyard, but it was faster than the ash powder burning, and as soon as he took a step, he was surrounded by raging fire.

The hidden corpse let out a low roar, like a brass bell with a crack, and the hoarse sound shook people's eardrums. The whole body of the hidden corpse was shrouded in firelight, but it still did not appear, but a layer of mist rose from the flames, and large puffs of white smoke rose into the sky. Great-grandfather shouted "light the torch", and the policemen in the courtyard woke up from a dream, lit the pre-prepared torches one after another, and threw them over. Originally, when the mist on the hidden corpse's body rose, the flames were already much smaller, but when they were hit by a few torches, the flames sprang up again, and a few brave policemen had recovered from the initial fear and shock, picked up the unbroken paper bags scattered around, and smashed them.

The ash powder exploded on the hidden corpse, and the flames were suddenly higher than a few feet, and the gray-black bones could already be faintly seen in the firelight, and the smell of burnt smell permeated the small courtyard. The speed of the hidden corpse slowed down significantly, and when it struggled to the gate of the courtyard, it collapsed. Obviously, the figure of the hidden corpse has shrunk a lot, and it is no longer the original majestic and mighty appearance, but like an old man with old strength and weakness, crawling out of the door.

The great-grandfather relieved himself and directed the police to keep throwing torches, and collected all the things that started the fire in the small courtyard and threw them on the hidden corpse. The hidden corpse crawled out into the street and moved a few dozen steps before it didn't move, leaving a puddle of stinky water on the ground.

The sensational flower picking robbery case in the sixth year of the Republic of China is over, and the world has always thought that it was a flower thief with high skills, but in fact it is a hidden corpse that is difficult to come out of for thousands of years, and only a few people know the twists and turns.

After telling Guo Erye the story of his great-grandfather, Guo Erye nodded and asked, "Do you think that the hidden corpse and the mirror in the clouds are the Han Zhu, which is very similar, and you want to use your great-grandfather's method to deal with it, don't you?"

"The recipe of the gray powder used by the great-grandfather, there are in the genealogy, they are all ground with some yang and dry drugs, and the hidden corpse is extremely heavy, and these gray powder will naturally attach to it, if it can be sprinkled on the coffin, at least we can see what it is, and know where Jiao Er's pigeon went, it is enough" I picked up the kite that Guo Erye had just drawn and looked at it carefully, this is an ordinary large-sized bat kite, but under Guo Erye's pen, the image of the bat is lifelike and ready to come out.

Guo Erye pondered for a long time, and slowly opened his mouth, "Only by using a big centipede, and then making two windbags of more than ten feet, it is estimated that you can bring two catties of gray powder, is it enough?"

"Enough, second master, I'll be satisfied if I can see one, after all, many things are my speculation, as long as I can prove the existence of Han Zhu. Probably for more than 2,000 years, no one has seen its real body. ”

"You can take the kite, but there is one condition, if you don't agree, you have to return the goldfish you lost last time. Second Master Guo looked at me with a smile.

"I don't understand your mind yet, don't worry, I'll definitely take you to old age" We both laughed.

When I left the door of Guo Erye's shop, Guo Erye read a sentence to me, "Second son, no matter what that thing is, don't hurt its life, the things that have survived for thousands of years are becoming more and more rare, just like our craft." (To be continued.) )
